Product Ratings (out of 5)All products are rated on a scale of one to five in four categories: Performance, Presentation, Purity, and Value. Badges are also placed on reviews for items that are Cruelty-free, Vegan, and/or Gluten-free. Detailed information on these terms and reference images can be found below.

Performance

Performance measures how well the product works under test conditions. Factors include effectiveness, duration, and ease of application.

Presentation

Presentation measures how well a product is packaged and marketed. This includes everything from the label on bottle to the company's website.

Value measures price and availability relative to performance. This is not relative to the target market; budget and luxury items are tested side-by-side. Availability is essential to value, as shipping costs that arise from online-exclusive items are taken into account.

Vegan. This product is 100% Vegan (no animal byproducts). Ingredients are cross-checked against PETA's list of animal ingredients unless the product claims to be vegan. Please note that some items on the list above can have alternate synthetic or plant-based versions, so some items may earn the badge if they contain these vegan alternatives (e.g. squalene derived from olives). Almost all items reviewed on Kaylin's Kit are vegan. Click here to see all vegan items.

Gluten-Free. This product is 100% gluten-free. Ingredients are cross-checked against this list unless the product claims to be gluten-free.
